Japan's Prime Minister meets Trump as he pushes for help in Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump meets with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Thursday as the war with Iran continues and Trump's calls for help in the Strait of Hormuz continue. Because of the war and unsuccessful calls for U.S. allies, including Japan, to help protect the critical global shipping route for oil and gas, Takaichi's visit comes at a crucial time. While Takaichi may have had an opportunity to discuss Trump's upcoming travels to China, that trip has been postponed due to the conflict in the Middle East. Trump has repeatedly expressed his discontent with the rejections by allies to protect the Strait. In a post on Truth Social about the lack of help, he wrote, "In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!" Before leaving Japan, Takaichi said she expects her meeting with Trump to be "very difficult," denying that the Trump administration officially requested Japanese warships for the war.
